Halo 2 Vista not running on Windows 7
Hi everyone, I recently picked up a copy of Halo 2 for PC and installed it on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1545) with Windows Vista as the OS and the game ran (Barely though, the video capability of that laptop is depressing).
Anyway, I got a new laptop a few weeks later (A Dell XPS, decked out with plenty of gaming gear) but running Windows 7 as the OS. Now the game installed fine but when I try to play it, I get the little loading icon next to my mouse pointer and then nothing. At all.
So my question is, does anyone know how to fix this problem? or can anyone link me to another thread/site where someone has had this problem and has solved it?
Cheers :)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Kirostrife Yeah Im running as admin, and the GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 540m (With Optimus... whatever that is) Any ideas?[/quote] GT 540m? There's your problem. Im sorry to say but i doubt Halo 2 Vista will ever run on your machine. There have been other uses using that exact same GPU and have never got it to run. Microsoft don't know what the problem is either. Oddly enough, it works with other games perfectly fine, it's just H2V that dislikes the game. Blame Hired Gun for the poor job they did porting Halo 2 to PC...
